[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the same issue in my parents house, minus the guilt or judgement. My mother has some health issues, including reflux, so she never eats past a certain hour. My father has food intolerances and is vegetarian, so the food in the house is very sparse and what is there is GF and vegetarian.

I fly to see them, so I make sure to get some hearty snack foods at the airport or bring with me in my travel bag (like nuts, trail mix, granola bars). Even though my parents wouldn't second guess my hunger or take offense if I rummaged through the pantry, it's still hard to adjust to their eating schedule and food scarcity.

If they are judgey about you guys eating, I have to ask: are you or DH overweight? Not that it justifies it, but it could explain their restrictions. It would make them pretty mean, however. [/quote]

I posted already about going ahead and eating without fear of judgement, but also wondered about that as well. Elderly inactive people can have such slow metabolisms that they really don't need much in the way of food, but perhaps they are also trying to make you eat less?
